Tyrone ran three warehouses and 200 staff for 15 years.
He walked away from a good salary to buy a Jim's Car Detailing franchise.
Five years on, he has taken 250 leads in total and none anymore.
His business runs on work he found himself.
How he did it:
Rainy day, no jobs. He knocked on doors instead.
Some days, 20 businesses and 20 no's.
Every no went in his calendar.
Three months later he went back.
One mechanic said "you're persistent; I'll give you a go."
Still one of his best customers.
Before and after photos on every job. Good for social media, good for complaints.
One aftercare message after each job.
The result: 240-plus reviews. Off leads.
Earning more than his old salary with the freedom to take a holiday when he wants one.
His advice to new franchisees: head office leads are the start, not the plan.
Local area marketing is where you build the business.
